Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
Step 4
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Let the fudge cool and set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or speed up the process by refrigerating for 1 hour.
Step 7
Once set, use the overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
